jspc-maven-plugin does not release usage of scanned logfiles files.

[hofmanndavid]

I am trying to wrap my head around the next. I think there is some classpath issues here.

• When I execute a mvn clean package build with the jspc-maven-plugin on prepare-package phase the plugin runs fine, but then when maven-war-plugin is trying to move stuff it fails the build saying that log4j-api-2.14.1.jar: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
• When I comment out the jspc-maven-plugin the maven war plugin has no problem moving things around to make the war.

This behaviour is repeatable.

I am running jspc-maven-plugin in prepare-package phase since my project uses overlays and I don't what this plugin to only compile jsps from my project, but also the overlayed projects so I point it to the target/ folder.

I am using version 2.4.6 compiling for tomcat 8.5 running on jvm version 8.

here the SO question Any maven jspc plugin will block some scanned jar file?

I've never heard about this but I'm happy to merge a PR if you find out what the cause is.

2.4.6 and Java 8 are both very old versions though.
